Fastos
Los Fastos pertenecen a la poesía didáctica, al igual que Arte de amar; pero mientras que ésta es una excelente muestra de elegía erótica, los primeros poseen un enorme valor como fuente para la historia civil y religiosa del pueblo romano. La ruptura con la elegía amorosa que Ovidio anuncia al final de Amores le conduce a temas muy distintos. Fastos es un poema didáctico sobre el calendario romano, el origen de los nombres de los meses y de ceremonias, festivales y cultos y la incidencia de la astronomía en todos ellos. Para estas explicaciones, Ovidio recurre a una gran variedad de mitos y narraciones históricas:: Jano, Venus, Juno, Marte, Júpiter se dan la mano con Numa, Servio ...
The Three Secular Plays of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) wrote poetry, prose, and plays and is considered the greatest of Mexican women writers. She was an intellectual prodigy, reportedly mastering Latin in twenty lessons, and at sixteen she entered a convent so that she might continue her learning. One of the most influential early feminists in the New World, she answered a bishop's criticism in a letter that has become a classic defense of the education of women. She collected a private library of 4,000 volumes, but when she was told that her studies were delaying the progress of her spiritual education, she gave away her books and devoted herself to religious studies.

Past and Present: Perspectives on Gender and Love
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. How do humans conceive of, enact, embody, perform, control, commodify, proscribe and portray love and gender? How are our bodies, our identities, our beliefs, our representations of ourselves affected by love and gender – or perceptions of love and gender? What don’t we know? What don’t we talk about? Why? Have answers to all these questions changed over time? Across cultures? These and many other questions lie at the heart of this volume on the changing natures and intertwining of gender and love. Its contents encompass concepts of love within and of the self, in families and between specific family members, in sexual and intimate relationships, in spiritual practice, in communities, and seen through many different lenses and from a range of disciplines and approaches. Readers may be left with more questions than answers: we certainly hope so.

Ovid: Ars Amatoria, Book III
This is a full-scale commentary devoted to the third book of Ovid's Ars Amatoria. It includes an Introduction, a revision of E. J. Kenney's Oxford text of the book, and detailed line-by-line and section-by-section commentary on the language and ideas of the text. Combining traditional philological scholarship with some of the concerns of more recent critics, both Introduction and commentary place particular emphasis on: the language of the text; the relationship of the book to the didactic, 'erotodidactic' and elegiac traditions; Ovid's usurpation of the lena's traditional role of erotic instructor of women; the poet's handling of the controversial subjects of cosmetics and personal adornment; and the literary and political significances of Ovid's unexpected emphasis in the text of Ars III on restraint and 'moderation'. The book will be of interest to all postgraduates and scholars working on Augustan poetry.
